This Apple Cinnamon Crumble Cake is a foolproof solution to colder days and darker evenings. Whether you’re a star baker or just getting into baking for the first time, this cake is a dream. This is such a cosy bake, and will fill your home with all those fabulous smells that are synonymous with this time of year!

The cake itself comes together in one bowl, with no need for an electric mixer. The batter folds with ease and then gets a generous sprinkle of a crumble/streusel topping. This all goes in to bake and comes out as a gorgeously moist apple cake, with a slightly crisp, cinnamon topping. Cosy and comforting, without much effort! I recommend drizzling over a little milk glaze at the end, just before serving. This is optional, but adds the perfect sweetness to round off the cake.

I use an 8″ cake tin for this Apple Cinnamon Crumble Cake (and a loose bottom base never hurts – I use these tins). If you want to make it to serve a larger number, simply double it and make a tiered cake! For other citrus bakes, try this Berry and Lemon Loaf Cake or for other ‘snacking cakes’ try this Mocha Cake with Cappuccino Frosting. For more baking inspiration, head on over to my Instagram.

Ingredients

  • 2 Medium Apples (I use Granny Smith – any will do)
  • 120 g Unsalted Butter Melted
  • 60 g Apple Sauce
  • 60 ml Milk
  • 2 Medium Eggs
  • 160 g Granulated Sugar
  • 210 g Plain Flour
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Soda

For the Crumble Topping

  • 15 g Oats
  • 15 g Butter
  • 15 g Plain Flour
  • 50 g Light Brown Sugar
  • 2 tsp Cinnamon

For the Glaze (Optional)

  • 4 tbsp Icing Sugar
  • 2 tbsp Milk

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Lightly grease a 9 inch round cake tin.
  • Peel and dice the two apples to about 1cm dice.
  • In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, apple sauce, milk and eggs with a whisk until thoroughly mixed. Add in the sugar and mix again.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda and diced apples. Fold this together to form a cake batter. Pour this into the tin.
  • Make the crumble topping by combining all ingredients in a small bowl with a fork. Sprinkle the sand-like mixture over the cake. Bake for approx 35 minutes, until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
  • Let cool on a wire rack before making the glaze. Do this by combining the icing sugar and milk in a small bowl. Drizzle over the cake just before serving!
